Feb. 20. 3taw6w The Public are cautioned to beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of the Bank, of the United States, ctnd Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of Aorth America, several of which have appeared in circulation within a few days pcift ; they are a good ge neral imitation of the genuine Bills, hut may be dtftingui/hed by the■following MARKS. Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States. ALL that have appeared have the letter F. for their Alphabetical Mark. The Texture of the Paper is thicker and whiter and it takes the ink more freely than j tbe genuine paper. Toe O. m the word Company is smaller than the M. and other letters oi that word, Co that a line extended from the top of the (), to touch the top of the M would extend con siderably above the range oi the whole word. In the word United the letters-are nariow era.id closer together than the reft of the bill The i and yin the word promise are not parallel, the f inclining riiucl) more forward than the i. The engraving is badly executed,the strokes of all. the Letters are stronger and the devi.e in the margin isn>uch coarser and appeal s darker than in the true bi!l% Some ©I the counterfeits bear date in 179i"-Where as the? Bank was not in operation till Decern ber, and no five dollar bills were iftued in that year. Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America• ALL that have appeared have the letter B. tor their alphabetical mark. They are printed on a paper nearly similar to that of-the counterfeit Five Doila> Note? above deferibed ; the engraving is bcite' exe ucted, and they approach nearer to the ap pearance of the genuine bills. The fine ruled lines through the wovd7affl /v, in the bo<Jy of the bill, are in number thir teen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in the counterfeits. Thf word Company is much like the farjie word in the Five Dollar B Hs is defer ibed a bove, th£ c being less chart them, and ©thers j fallowing. There is no stroke to the / in the word Worth whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined. The letters ent in the word Twenty., to the left hand at the bottom, do not come down to the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the Tw and the go ing below them. The Signature J Nixon, has the appear ance of Mng written with lamp-black and oil, and differs from the other inksufedin prnting the bills and the earner's iignattire. It is tuppofcd these forgeries were commuted in ferae ot the Southern States, as all the coun terfeits thai have appeared, have cowie from thence, and two, persons have been apprehend ed in Virginia, on suspicion ot being the authors of them. The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS will be paid to arty Person Or Persons who shall difcover'and prosecute to conviction the fevrral offenders of the following defciiptions or any of them, viz. The person or persons, who manufactured | the paper on which the' Bills Jfre printed: The person or persons, who engraved the plates. The printer or printers, of the bills. fcvery person who has acted as a principal in any other way, in the counterfeiting and-utter-, ing the said bills.

Price 25 Gents. dtf February 15. The following memorial fiom Samuel Hopkins, was read in the House of Re presentatives of this Commonwealth, the 19th inft. To the Speaker and Members of the Af iembly of Penfylvania : , THE Subscriber apprehends he has at great labour and expence much improved on the common mode of mannfa&uring pot and pearl allies, for which improve ment the United States have granted him, an exclusive right for a term of years. The advantages over the former is set forth by divers Certificates, one of which figncd by David Rittenhoufe, Doctor Rush and otheis,hath been published. By a Tarietyot improvements in the application of the principle, he apprehends he has so far Am plify'd it, that at small expence it may be conduced by women or children, altho' larger the works greater the profits retak ing in proportion. In a work that maycoft about 12 dollars to be worked by a boy of 12, or 13 years old, with attention, may make 150 weight of pearl allies, and with good house ashes at gd per bulhel, wood at 20s per cord ; the pearl a(hes so made when fold at the common price of 50s per hund red,leaves about 40s for his week's labour. The process is allowed to be easy and fami liar, one of those small works is now -Sand ing at his house in Arch Street No.43,and ' is fiee for infpe&ion to any that inclines to visit it; he therefore wilhes a fuitabje Committee may be appointed, one or more members of each County to examine the • fame, fee some experiments performed, and should it be thought after every neces sary examination, this improvement prefer able to tlie former, and a geheral benefit to this State, in bringing foiward this ma • 9 o nufacttiry in which little heretofore have been done, he willing to relinquish his afor faid right,as far as relates to Pennsylvania, for such a compensation as the merits of it may appear reasonable todefire. SAMUEL' HOPKINS. 2d Mo. 19, 1764. A work that may cost about 300 dollars when compleat with 4 large boilers worked by 2 fires, 2 hands may make as much pearl ashes as common black salts, perhaps 18 or 20 cwt. per week, it may require about 7 cord of wood. The quantity made in a certain given time, will always depend on the attention of the workmen, the size of the furnace, the quality of the ashes, See. See. The Committee appointed Feb. 25,laft, | on the memorial of Samuel Hopkins, made report, which was read as follows, viz : The Committee to whom was vefered the application of Samuel Hopkins to the Legislature, on the fubje& of an improve ment discovered by him in the manufac tury of pot and bearl ashes, beg leave to to report —That they think favourably of the prayer of the said applicant, and aie of opinion that it will beadvantageous for the State to have the mode invented by him, rendered of general utility, by the purchase of his exclusive privilidge in the discovery, which they understand may be effe&ed on very moderate terms; they therefore reco|Timend the following resolu tion : Rtfolved, That a Committee be ap- , pointed to bring in a bill to grant the sum of £ to Samuel Hopkins, in re ward of his discovery, and as a compensa tion for the surrender of his exclusive ri to said improvement, within the limits of this commonwealth.
